Narrative:

While taxiing out for departure at ZZZ, the right engine was started with all normal indications. We were cleared on the runway for takeoff. While accelerating the engine to taxi on the runway, the right engine did not accelerate off of idle. There was another aircraft on final so we cleared the runway to troubleshoot the problem. Based on the past experience of the MD80, I shut the engine down and restarted it. The start was again normal and it now accelerated normally. Takeoff was made with no further problems. Upon arriving at ZZZ1, I called maintenance controller and told them what I had done. They told me to write it up so that they would have documentation and ZZZ1 maintenance would take care of it if anything further was needed. In retrospect, I would have called maintenance after I cleared the runway and let them make the decisions. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated the pratt and whitney JT8D-219 engine has had the bleed valve sticking open problem long enough for most crew to understand the procedure for recovery. Shutdown and restart!
